Christine Reinstrom Earp

A devoted member of New Life Lutheran Church, Christine was deeply involved in her faith community. Her passion for music shone brightly through her years as a dedicated trumpet player, and she found great joy in sharing her talents with others. Christine also had a gift for bringing people together, especially through her love of cooking—nothing made her happier than preparing meals for family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Earp, and her parents, Heinz and Ella Reinstrom. Christine leaves behind her sister, Janet Ann Duke; her niece, Destiny Duke; great-niece, Lila; and great-nephew, Garrett. She also leaves behind her dear cousins, Ken Reinstrom, Gary Reinstrom, and Denise Sam, along with many other cherished family members and friends.

Christine’s kindness, faith, and love of music will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

A memorial service for Christine will be held Sunday, March 30, 2025 at 12:00 PM at New Life Lutheran Church, 8010 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL. Following the memorial service will be a graveside service at 1:30 PM at Palms Memorial Park, 170 Honore Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34232.
